NITED STATES To all whom t may concern: n Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. JONES, of Erie, inthe county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Im- 4an improved cooler which shall be so constructed as to enable liquors to be cooledby Y the same ice that cools the water, and which shall be simple in construction and convenient Y in use; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of various parts ofthe cooler, as fhereinafter more fully described.

A is the body of the cooler, in the interior of which the water and ice are placed, and

` l which is made with double walls, in the ordinary manner, the space between said walls beinglled with charcoal, plaster of Paris, or i other suitable non-conducting substance. The l bodyA of the cooler is provided with a faucet,

B, through which the ice-water is drawn out, asrequired. C is the cover, which fits snugly .into the mouth of the cooler, and which has a hole, c1, formed lin itsV middle part, through which the water and ice are inserted, and which is closed with acover, D. In the cover t C areformed any desired number of holes c2, Y leading into a number of sockets, E, the upper ends of which are attached to the said cover C, and which are made of such a length that their closed lower ends will not touch the bottom of the cooler A, so that there may be Y yprovement in Combined Liquor and Water y Cooler, of which the following is a specifica- My invention has for its object to furnish` PATENT OEEICE.

coiled springs F, upon thelupper ends of which,

or upon the disks attached to said upper ends, rest the bottles Gr that contain the liquors to be cooled. In the bottom of the sockets E are also placed sponges H, to absorb any moisture condensed within said sockets. To the cover C, around the holes c2 in which the bottles G are placed, are secured rubber rings I, the invner diameter of which is less than the diameter of the holes c2, and less than the diameter of the bottles to be inserted in said holes, so as to lit snugly upon said bottles, and prevent the entrance of warm air into the said sockets E. The rubber rings I also wipe off any moisture that may be upon the outside of the bottles as they are withdrawn from the sockets.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The sockets or receivers E, each provided with a spring, F, as shown and described,` whereby each bottle rests on an elastic and independent bed or support, as specified.

2. rlhe combination of the rubber rings I with the mouths of the sockets E placed in the cooler A to receive bottles G, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
